In my team loaded with musicians it seems I couldn’t hit a coo’s erse this year.

Week 33 update

One death this week, the drummer Frankie Banali: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-8652581/Quiet-Riot-drummer-Frankie-Banali-dies-68-brave-battle-pancreatic-cancer.html

If you don't fancy reading what the Daily Mail has to say, here you go: https://www.loudersound.com/news/quiet-riot-drummer-frankie-banali-dead-at-68

Quote

Earlier this week Banali had been recuperating at home after suffering a stroke while on a three-week hospital stay. "I spent the last three weeks in the hospital," said the drummer. "Home now. Had two blood transfusions. I also had a stroke while there. I am rehabbing at home. Thank you for your concern and well wishes.”

Banali had been battling stage four pancreatic cancer and spent time at the Kaiser Permanente Woodland Hills Medical Center, California, back in June with an infection, with his wife issuing a statement to thank fans for their well-wishes and to report that Frankie was “not on his death bed."

Banali's cancer diagnosis was made public in October last year, with the drummer saying he’d been battling the disease since April 2019. 

“The original prognosis was very scary,” he said.  “I had quite a battle on my hands and it took a lot, but I am thankful to say that after several rounds of chemo and other treatments I am on the mend. 

Doesn't sound like much of an end. I haven't heard of his main bands, Quiet Riot and W.A.S.P., so let's have a listen:

Oh, hold on, it seems I have. Here's your man at work:

I don't know who I thought that song was by. Banali died at 68, so he's worth 57 Base Points. He was a pick for @Arabdownunder, @cdisaaccie, @Lofarl and @Ned Nederlander.

You thought it was by Slade. Because it was. Quiet Riot covered it.

That's sad. He lived in Greengairs, beside a friend of mine. Only a little older than me. Two European Cup semi-finals? I don't remember those.

Celtic lost Inter Milan on penalties (0-0 agg) in 72 and 2-0 to Atletico Madrid in 74.

I remember the team that lost to inter. It was very similar to the one that the Jags pumped 4-1 in the 71 League Cup final!
